Time to take some GOLD LETTER notes

The nucleus of a cell is like the boss of the cell. It's like the brain and control center because it tells the cell what to do. It controls all cellular activity.

​

​The Nucleus

Multiple Choice

Controls all cellular activity

• nucleus

• DNA

• cell membrane

Mitochondria are like the cell's power plants. They are tiny structures inside a cell that make energy, kind of like how batteries power your Chrombook. They take in food and oxygen and turn them into energy that the cell can use to do its job. So, mitochondria are like little energy factories for the cell.

​

​Mitochondria

Multiple Choice

The location where the cell makes energy.

• nucleus

• vacuole

• mitochondria

Vacuoles in a cell are like storage containers. They are like little pockets that can hold different things the cell needs, such as water.

​

​Vacuoles

Ribosomes in a cell are like tiny chefs. They are very small but important because they help make proteins, which are like the building blocks for the cell.

​

​Ribosomes

Multiple Choice

What do plant cells have on the outside that animal cell do not?

• cell membrane
• nucleus
• cell wall
• mitochondria

Multiple Choice

When is Christmas?

• October 31st
• December 24th
• November 25th
• December 25th

​Can I come out now?

These green structures are like mini kitchens where a special process called photosynthesis happens. During photosynthesis, chloroplasts take in sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create sugar, which is the cell's energy source.

​

​Chloroplasts

They are groups of similar cells that work together to perform specific jobs. For example, muscle tissue helps you move, while skin tissue covers and protects your body.

​

Tissues

Multiple Choice

The basic unit of an organism

• Cell

• organism

• tissue

Multiple Choice

Groups of cells form a/an

• oganism

• organ

• tissue

An organ in a living thing is like a special team of workers that has a specific job. It's made up of different types of tissues that work together to perform a specific function.

​

​Organ

Multiple Choice

A group of tissues form a/an

• organelle

• organ

• tissue

Draw

Draw a cell and label at least 3 parts
